I think someone just got tired of seeing the real racing in the lites class. This happens all the time in the lites class. Time to change that. lol

What do you all think about Josh Grants attempt last night? I thought he was doing verry well for having torn muscle issues.
I like Grant. Unfortunately his flashes of brilliance are over run by injury and lack luster finishes. I hope I see him continue his career with better finishes and his head held high.
I think Grant will shine when we get outdoors.
It looked to me like the down rider was already off the track. The flagger was not paying attention. I mean if the rider was clear from the track you shouldn't go just by what the flagger is doing. The flagger just didn't notice that the down rider was clear. I thought that was what I saw anyway. I would have to see it again.
We will have to see. He will need to execute that strategy better as all that did for him last night was put him in 6th place. Of course, the crash while in 1st wasn't part of that.
All of these little battles should make for one of the more interesting seasons

If you don't go by what the flagger is doing what point is there to have a flagger?
Um, to put it mildly, that is one of the most "silliest" post I have read in awhile, thanks
Seriously, you can't leave those decisions up to the riders, it doesn't mater what's going on the track. The flags are there for the downed riders safety and should be used with an abundance of caution. Better to err on the side of caution.
I am not saying to not pay attention to the flaggers. I am saying it looked to me like the down rider was clear of the track. Maybe Anderson saw that it was clear and went for it. Does anybody have the footage? I did not mean to sound like the flagger does not matter.
I do not have the footage.
While Anderson may have seen "a rider" off the track, what if there were multiple riders still down on the track? Hence the flagger
Having said that, had Anderson been on an awesome cr500af he could have jumped that entire section so quickly the flagger nor the
would have seen him.
